Holly Valance: Former Neighbours star declares herself ‘far right’ as she voices support for Pauline Hanson
The former Neighbours star has urged Aussies to not be ‘too scared to stand up for your country that’s given you everything.’
Former Neighbours star Holly Valance has urged Aussies to not be “embarrassed” about being patriotic, as she proclaims her support for One Nation party leader, Pauline Hanson.
The 42-year-old British-Australian dual citizen attended the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march in central London on Saturday, where tens of thousands of people showed up to protest against illegal immigration and increased Islamic influence in the UK.
Valance declared herself “absolutely right-wing” as she voiced her patriotic views to the Daily Telegraph.

“Respect it, respect the culture, respect the flag, don’t be embarrassed to fly the flag, be patriotic, stand in that and don’t let anybody tell that you you’re a racist for doing so, that’s disgusting and treacherous and treasonous that they would”.
Valance then went on to express her support for Ms Hanson, describing the One Nation leader as an “amazing, loving Australian” who is “super proud of where we’ve come from”.
“The support behind people like Pauline Hanson is growing day by day and people are talking to me online, saying ‘yes we love her’,” she said.
“All I think of is imagine if we listened to Pauline when everyone was giving her so much shtick in ‘96, ‘97, imagine how different it would be.
“Hindsight is an amazing thing and she was on to something then and we all laughed at her, me included, I remember being a child and watching her and being told she’s the crazy lady, not so crazy now.”
Valance made headlines back in February after she collaborated with Ms Hanson on a song titled Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse.
The tune garnered steam for making fun of “woke” culture and was labelled transphobic for mocking the LGBTQIA+ community.
“MWAH You will respect my pronouns. Not all ladies have ovaries, some have a penis. They say that I’m a he but I’m a she, Coz I gotta V and not a D,” the lyrics say.
“And I don’t care what people say: I’ll never be a him, a them or they. Cause I’m a real biological woman. A real biological woman.
“Fave song – from the river to the sea, no job but I bleed LGBT… Q+, ya bigot. Cause I’m a real diabolical lefty.”
